Seven—Synonym for forever. “Only one more week,” you say. “That’s just seven days.” Yeah, it’s forever! “We did that just last week, seven days ago,” you say. Yep, forever. Sigh.

Wait—And I don’t like to wait. You silly humans spell it meow, but it really should be me-now! I don’t care if you’re using your litter box … or sleeping … or answering an email … I want what I want, now!

Mine—The toys are mine. The food is mine. The bed is mine. The floor is mine. The computer is mine. The car is mine. You are mine. Mine, mine, mine!

When—When is supper time? When will you come back? When will you feed me again? When will we go for a walk? When is our next trip? When will you meet all my needs?
